This study aims to examine the relationship between certain dimensions of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) with market performance, measured by Tobin's Q, on companies within various industries in Indonesia. This study disaggregates CSR into 7 dimensions: environment, energy, occupational safety and health, employee, product, community, and general. Samples consisted of 385 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2007-2014. OLS analysis shows that CSR contributes greatly to the formation of market performance of consumer goods, agriculture, and miscellaneous industries. The dimensions of CSR contribute differently to the formation of Q ratios in different industries. We also found that there are differences in the speed of effect of several dimensions of CSR on the formation of market performance; some CSR dimensions give immediate effect while others are lagged.

본 연구는 BSC의 성공적 구축과 활용에 있어 최근 변화하는 경영환경에 적절하게 대응하고, 기업의 경영활동에서 비재무적 요소가 차지하는 중요성을 감안하여 무형적 자원의 대표적 요소인 R&D 지출과 관련하여 BSC의 KPI를 개발하고, 개발된 지표의 효용성을 실증분석을 통해 검정하고자 하였다. 본 연구를 통해 BSC의 KPI로써 개발된 PEI(Patent Efficiency Index)는 R&D 지출과 R&D의 output 개념인 특허와의 상관성을 고려하여 특허의 효율성 측면에서 만들어 졌으며, 기존의 R&D관련 KPI가 가진 문제점을 해결하고, R&D 성과측정에 관한 새로운 KPI개발을 시도하였다는 점에서 연구적 의의가 있다고 하겠다. 또한 지표의 효용성에 대한 실증분석 결과, 논문의 관심변수인 PEI는 종속변수인 기업경영성과의 대용치로 나타내어진 ROA(총자산이익률)과 토빈Q에 각각 유의한 양의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 그동안 기존 연구들에서 많은 관심을 가져왔던 R&D 지출보다 R&D의 성과측정지표로서의 설명력이 더 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이상 결과를 통해 개발된 PEI는 기존의 R&D 지출이 기업성과에 미치는 영향을 설명하는데 있어 설명하지 못하는 추가적인 설명력을 가진다고 할 수 있다. 나아가 이 지표를 통해 기업이 얼마나 효율적인 R&D 활동을 하고 있는지 알 수 있으며, 이는 기업의 R&D 활동의 효율성이 높을 때 기업의 가치나 성과가 높아진다는 것을 시사한다. 본 연구는 기업의 R&D 지출과 기업경영성과 간의 관련성을 특허와 R&D 지출의 효율적인 측면을 측정한 PEI를 통하여 직접적으로 입증함으로써 기존의 R&D 비용 외에 기업의 기업경영성과를 가늠하고 판단할 수 있는 중요한 지표로 쓰일 수 있다는 것을 규명할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This study aims to investigate the effect of the composition of the board and ownership structure on a firm's value in Jordanian firms. Specifically, it aims to determine the effect of board size, (CEO) duality, and family, foreign, institutional, and government ownership on a firm's value. An ordinary least square regression (OLS) was employed to examine the study hypotheses in a sample of 35 Jordanian industrial firms (175 firm-year observation) for a period of five years from 2016-2020. As measured by Tobin's Q (Q ratio) and market-to-book (MB ratio) for Jordanian industrial firms listed on Amman Stock Exchange (ASE). The result found that foreign ownership, institutional ownership, and family ownership have a significant and positive effect on firm value. By contrast, government ownership does not have a significant effect on firm value. With respect to board composition (CEO duality and board size), the study results found no evidence to support the effect of board composition on firm value. The study recommended the concerned authorities with several recommendations, most notably: taking the necessary measures to ensure the continuity and growth of family businesses because of their positive impact on the value of the company and economic growth, spreading awareness about how governance protects the interests of investors.

I investigate whether the efficient ratios used as the proxies of the agency costs maintained by Ang et al.(2000) is significant. Utilizing a sample of 77 manufacturing companies listed on the KOSDAQ from the TS2000 of the KSDA, The results are as follows. Agency costs are found to be decreasing with the ownership share of controlling shareholders and accounting performance becomes higher. But firm value measured by Tobin's Q ratio becomes lower according as the ownership of the controlling shareholders increases. If agency costs decrease in proportion to controlling shareholder's share, firm value should be higher according to the agency theory by Jensen and Meckling(I976). But the results of the empirical test of this study are inconsistent with Jensen and Meckling's(1976). Therefore the following study on the more useful proxies stand for agency costs should be needed.

Purpose - This paper's purpose is to investigate how foreign ownership and innovation affect firm value. Design/methodology - Firm innovation is defined as operational efficiency, which is calculated by adopting data envelopment analysis (DEA). Additionally, R&D intensity is included as a measure of innovation in the analysis. We used firm-level data from manufacturing companies in Korea. The sample comprised 3,753 firm-year observations for every year in the period 2003-2017. Findings - We found that foreign ownership and innovation are positively related to firm value (Tobin's Q). Foreign ownership moderates innovation's contribution to firm value, implying that foreign ownership may enhance the value relevance of firm innovation. In addition, we found that firm innovation partially mediates the relationship between foreign ownership and firm value. Originality/value - This highlights the important role of foreign investors' monitoring; wherein foreign investors enhance firm value by facilitating firm innovation. Our results suggest that foreign ownership can be crucial for innovation and may serve to address weak ownership structures.

The Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) sector is undergoing a fundamental transformation. Determinant factors in this transformation process are deregulations and technological advancements. From the value chain perspective, industry convergence plays the most crucial role in the transformation of the established telecommunications and media industries. The objective of this paper is to validate the impact of convergence on the business performance using empirical data. To identify the various effects driven by industry convergence, we analyzed the relationships between firm's degree of convergence and the business performance using regression analysis. From the empirical result with the 2002-2005 data, it was found that the convergence across ICT sectors improves the business performance measured by Tobin's q significantly and this is only a recent phenomenon. These results are consistent with the conjecture that higher degree of convergence is becoming more associated with higher market value.

Although much attention has been paid to customer satisfaction (CS) as a leading indicator of firm performance, few studies have investigated the role of CS distribution across individual customers. With 10 years of National Customer Satisfaction Index (NCSI) data in Korea, we examine the relationship between the variance of CS and key corporate performance measures such as revenue, profit, Tobin's q, and stock return. There are three main findings. First, we confirm the findings of previous studies that the average CS for a firm is related to the firm's economic performance. Second, we find a moderating effect of CS variance such that the relationship between the level of CS and firm performance is attenuated by the variance of CS. Finally, the variance of CS is found to directly affect firm performance over and above the CS level effect. More specifically, the variance decreases sales and stock return.

As advertising and promotions are categorized as operating expenses, managers tend to reduce marketing budget to improve their short term profitability. Gauging the value and accountability of marketing spending is therefore considered as a major research priority in marketing. To respond this call, recent studies have documented that financial market reacts positively to a firm's marketing activity or marketing related outcomes such as brand equity and customer satisfaction. However, prior studies focus on the relation of marketing variable and financial market variables. This study suggests a channel about how marketing activity increases firm valuation. Specifically, we propose that a firm's marketing activity increases the level of the firm's product market information and thereby the dispersion in financial analysts' earnings forecasts decreases. With less uncertainty about the firm's future prospect, the firm's managers and shareholders have less information asymmetry, which reduces the firm's cost of capital and thereby increases the valuation of the firm. To our knowledge, this is the first paper to examine how informational benefits can mediate the effect of marketing activity on firm value. To test whether marketing activity contributes to increase in firm value by mitigating information asymmetry, this study employs a longitudinal data which contains 12,824 firm-year observations with 2,337 distinct firms from 1981 to 2006. Firm value is measured by Tobin's Q and one-year-ahead buy-and-hold abnormal return (BHAR). Following prior literature, dispersion in analysts' earnings forecasts is used as a proxy for the information gap between management and shareholders. For model specification, to identify mediating effect, the three-step regression approach is adopted. All models are estimated using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods to test the statistical significance of the mediating effect. The analysis shows that marketing intensity has a significant negative relationship with dispersion in analysts' earnings forecasts. After including the mediator variable about analyst dispersion, the effect of marketing intensity on firm value drops from 1.199 (p < .01) to 1.130 (p < .01) in Tobin's Q model and the same effect drops from .192 (p < .01) to .188 (p < .01) in BHAR model. The results suggest that analysts' forecast dispersion partially accounts for the positive effect of marketing on firm valuation. Additionally, the same analysis was conducted with an alternative dependent variable (forecast accuracy) and a marketing metric (advertising intensity). The analysis supports the robustness of the main results. In sum, the results provide empirical evidence that marketing activity can increase shareholder value by mitigating problem of information asymmetry in the capital market. The findings have important implications for managers. First, managers should be cognizant of the role of marketing activity in providing information to the financial market as well as to the consumer market. Thus, managers should take into account investors' reaction when they design marketing communication messages for reducing the cost of capital. Second, this study shows a channel on how marketing creates shareholder value and highlights the accountability of marketing. In addition to the direct impact of marketing on firm value, an indirect channel by reducing information asymmetry should be considered. Potentially, marketing managers can justify their spending from the perspective of increasing long-term shareholder value.

기업의 "회사소개" 페이지는 기업이 중요시하게 여기는 가치가 무엇인지를 소개하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이에 관한 글이 회사의 현재 및 미래의 재무성과의 연관성을 조사한다. 텍스트 마이닝 기법을 활용하여 2016년의 S&P500 기업의 기관 정보를 분석하여 회사소개 페이지에서 의도적으로 반복되는 단어를 파악하고, 이를 통해 요인분석을 수행하였다. 그 결과 홈페이지의 키워드는 6가지 요인으로 분류될 수 있음을 알 수 있었고, 그후 최소 자승 회귀분석을 수행하여 키워드의 요인과 기업의 현재 재무 성과 사이의 연관성을 결정하였다. 분석 결과 요인 2("구매 경험"과 관련된 키워드)가 현재 재무 성과의 대체 변수인 ROE와 긍정적인 상관관계가 있음을 보여주며, 요인 1("고객에게 알림"과 관련된 키워드)은 ROE와 부정적인 관계를 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 다만, 요인 1은 기업의 미래 재무 성과를 측정하는 대안 변수인 Tobin's Q와 긍정적인 관계가 있었다. 이 결과는 기업의 웹사이트에 소개된 글과 기업의 재무 성과 사이에 관계가 있음을 나타낸다. 따라서 웹 사이트에 대한 기관의 소개글은 현재 회사 성과 및 미래 회사 가치에 대하여 유용한 지표가 될 수 있다.

본 연구는 코스닥 상장법인의 소유구조 및 사외이사가 기업가치와 어떠한 관련성이 있는지를 분석하였다. 연구대상은 2000년부터 2003년까지 코스닥시장에 상장된 12월 결산법인(금융업과 보험업을 제외) 1,499개이다. 종속변수는 기업가치의 대용치(proxy)로 Tobin's Q를 이용하였고, 독립변수는 소유구조 관련변수와 사외이사 그리고 기타 통제변수로 하여 다중회귀분석과 Piecewise 회귀분석을 하였다. 연구결과, 소유구조와 관련하여 대주주1인과 외국인투자자 지분율이 선행연구들(Morck et al. 1988, 김영숙과 이재춘 2000, 김병호 2002, 김문현과 박종일 2005)과 같이 기업가치와 비선형 관계가 있어 이익일치가설과 경영자기득권유지가설이 혼재된 절충가설이 지지되었다. 그러나 기관투자자는 선행연구들과 달리 기업가치와 관련성이 적은 것으로 나타났다. 사외이사와 관련해서는 선행연구들(Vafeas 2000, Choi et al. 2004, 박경서 등 2003)과 같이 코스닥시장에서도 사외이사비율이 높을수록 기업가치가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 추가분석에서는 사외이사비율과 기업가치 간에는 비선형관계가 존재하여 사외이사 선임의 효율성 문제가 존재하는 것으로 추론되며, 사외이사 선임이 상대적으로 높은 기업이 그렇지 않은 기업보다 소유구조와 기업가치 간의 관련성이 더 높아 사외이사가 소유구조와도 관련되어 있음을 보여주었다. 향후, 거래소 상장기업의 협력자이며, 경제적으로 의미가 커지고 있는 코스닥 상장법인에 대해서도 기업지배구조와 관련된 많은 연구들이 이루어져야 할 것이다.
